Sharing Households: If you are sharing your box with another household, remember that we pack only one box for your share; it is up to you to decide how to split it.

Please write name, address and email address of the additional household on the back of this page. This will help us keep them updated.
Member Responsibilities
- Know when and where your share will be delivered and pick it up at your site during hours of operation on delivery day. Good Earth Food Alliance cannot issue credit for unclaimed or forgotten shares. All unclaimed produce is donated to a local charity or a church food pantry.
- Make alternate arrangements for weeks you are unable to pick up your share. You may ask someone else to pick up your box or allow us to donate it for you at the end of the day.
- Read the weekly e-newsletters. Besides news from the farm we communicate important announcements, provide recipes and storage information, and extend invitations and special offers to you through weekly e-newsletters.
As a member, you share in the wonderful bounty from the farms but you also assume the risks that accompany farming. Our local food subscription allows you to forge a connection with your food, the farms where it is produced, and the people who grow the crops. As such, Good Earth Food Alliance membership is a season-long commitment. If you are unable to finish out the season as a member, for whatever reason, you are welcome to reassign your share to another household, but please know that Good Earth Food Alliance is unable to issue refunds after May 1, 2012.
Member Agreement: Please read and sign below.
I understand that joining the Good Earth Food Alliance Produce CSA is a season long (22 week) commitment with 2 mid fall/winter produce shares. I also understand my responsibility to make arrangements for pickup of my share at my drop site during the hours of operation.
As a member, I agree to share in the bounty and the risks of farming with the growers and the other shareholders
